This was the first time Chen Zhou had heard of the list of strange roots, and that the Natal tribe had a divine tree root ranked fifty-seventh.

That sounds really awesome!

This suggests just how powerful the Natal tribe must have been. With the root of the divine tree, ranked fifty-seventh on the list of extraordinary roots, this tribe's strength was certainly considerable.

Before Chen Zhou even arrived at their tribe, he had already seen two powerful individuals at the fourth level of the Core Formation Realm. Even in the vast Southern Kingdom, there were only four such individuals, yet this small tribe had two.

“Clan chief, he is not controlled by the poisonous root, and he is a formation master. My guarantee from earlier is still valid. I believe he can definitely help us,” Yu Qirui said to the old clan chief.

The old patriarch saw that Chen Zhou had successfully absorbed the root of the poisonous tree, which indeed changed his opinion of Chen Zhou considerably, but he still harbored prejudice against him.

"Have you forgotten the bloody lesson? Array masters cannot be trusted. Only by training the young children of our tribe and having them become array masters can we possibly rebuild the Divine Tree Array!" The old patriarch looked at Yu Qirui and answered directly.

Of the three, the old clan chief and Yu Junya never forgot that incident, after all, it had a huge impact on their tribe and themselves.

What was once a very powerful tribe has been reduced to a small village on the map because of a level 3 array master from the Tianyun Association.

If this happened to Chen Zhou, he would definitely find it hard to accept, and he might even lose trust in outside array masters, just like the old patriarch and Yu Junya.

Chen Zhou only wanted to be a lazy bum and not care about these things, but now that he had not only absorbed the poisonous tree root of the Natal tribe, but Yu Qirui also trusted him so much, he had no reason to abandon the tribe and leave.

Even if we can't set up a divine array, we should still do our best.

“Elder Chief, you already agreed to this matter. This isn’t something I did on my own,” Yu Qirui continued, his tone quite assertive.

"Hmph! I will not let the people of the tribe accompany you to your funeral again! You! Get out of here right now!" The old chieftain was enraged by Yu Qirui and immediately said angrily to Chen Zhou.

"In that case, I won't stay any longer. I'll take my leave now," Chen Zhou said, cupping his fists in farewell to Yu Qirui.

Although Chen Zhou only wanted to be a lazy bum, he was no longer welcome at this point, so why should he humiliate himself?

After saying that, Chen Zhou lifted his leg and prepared to leave.

"Chen Dachuan! Have you forgotten what you promised me?" Yu Qirui looked at Chen Zhou as he turned around.

“I haven’t forgotten, but I’m also an ordinary person. I have my own dignity and things I need to do. Don’t think I have an obligation to help you.” Chen Zhou’s expression turned serious.

"Clan Chief... Brother Qi Rui... Sigh... Let's choose to trust him this once," Yu Junya said to the old clan chief.

Hearing Yu Junya's words, the old patriarch was slightly moved, but still harbored doubts about Chen Zhou. He was willing to back down, but couldn't bring himself to do it, so he could only say, "Hmph! I'm not going to get involved in this matter! You can handle it yourselves!"

After saying this, the old patriarch disappeared from the spot.

It was teleportation again.

"Thank you for your trust, Elder Clan Chief!" Yu Qirui knelt down with a thud and said to the Elder Clan Chief who had disappeared from the spot.

Yu Qirui knelt for a while before standing up.

Let's go.

Where to?

"tribe."

"Can we not go? The divine tree is right here, and I'll set up the formation here. It's more effective to practice where formations are needed." Chen Zhou replied, actually thinking that he didn't want to run into the old clan leader. Studying the divine tree alone wasn't such a bad thing.

Chen Zhou was not used to doing this kind of thing. If he really went to the tribe with Yu Qirui to practice, he would have to watch the old chief’s face and would be ostracized in various ways. Who knew what the people of the Natal tribe would think?

Chen Zhou has only come into contact with two die-hards: the old clan chief and Yu Junya.

Who knows how many chieftains and Yujunya there are in the Yinatar tribe?

“Alright. The array diagram is in the tribe. I’ll head over and get it for you now. There are tribe warriors guarding this place, and Junya will stay here too, so there shouldn’t be any danger,” Yu Qirui said.

Chen Zhou nodded in response, and Yu Qirui turned and disappeared into the jungle.

Watching Yu Qirui leave, Chen Zhou found a tree a few dozen meters away from the divine tree, climbed up, and lay down comfortably to get some rest.

Yu Junya saw this behavior. She originally thought that Chen Zhou wanted to adapt to the environment and look around so that he could make good arrangements for setting up the formation later. However, Chen Zhou just wanted to find a good tree and then lie down comfortably to take a nap.

This action truly stunned Yu Junya.

Who on earth is this man in front of me?

They weren't in a hurry at all.

It was as if setting up this formation was a very small matter for him.

"Ding! Host has not cultivated for one minute. True Qi value +8! Blood Qi value +10! Root Bone value +10! Spirituality value +2!"

"Ding! Host has not cultivated for ten minutes. True Qi value +80! Blood Qi value +100! Root Bone value +100! Spirituality value +20!"

.........

Lying down comfortably and listening quietly to the system's notification sounds, Chen Zhou suddenly realized how wonderful this life was. He had even complained that the system's notification sounds were too noisy before.

Chen Zhou is now starting to regret his actions.

Only then did Chen Zhou remember the manual for practicing true qi manipulation. Since he had some time, he immediately took it out of his storage ring and began to read it.

Chen Zhou finished reading it in a short time and memorized it.

"Is this kind of cultivation really effective? Is that old man lying to me?"

Chen Zhou muttered to himself and began practicing this technique.

The entire manual explains the content in an extremely simple way: it involves using one's inner energy to continuously draw the patterns described in the manual.

These patterns include dragons, phoenixes, and even landscape paintings, which places extremely high demands on Chen Zhou's control over his internal energy.

Not only does it require the true qi to exist there for an extended period of time, but Chen Zhou also needs to be able to control the position of the true qi with unparalleled precision.

Chen Zhou realized he had underestimated this technique when he started drawing.

"turtle!"

Chen Zhou started practicing from the simplest things, first drawing a turtle, which was the simplest one.

Just as Chen Zhou finished drawing the turtle's full form, the turtle's head, which he had started drawing, began to disappear.

Chen Zhou's true energy lasted too short a time.

Chen Zhou realized his shortcomings.
